If you've never studied history,
you've allowed yourself to be ignorant of how we got to where we are as a
species. You will be frightened and confused by the occurrences around the
world. You won't know why conflicts arose, nor how to solve them. You will be
angry and frustrated. You will be a bystander, never taking an active part in
life. You will be able to change nothing. In effect, what would be the point of
you? Go live in the jungle if you wish to be an ignoramus, since irrational
idiots are reduced to only the animalistic functions of humanity (i.e., eating,
sleeping, and fucking). You can do these anywhere. Don't take up precious room
in civilisation, and certainly don't get in the way of revolutionaries who are
striving to make the world a better place, free of the idiocy of the past.
Though we revere mathematics and
philosophy above all things, the study of history should not be neglected. It
is a prime example of knowledge being power. After all, if we do not learn from
the mistakes of the past, we are doomed to repeat them. Knowledge gives us the
power needed to bring change about effectively.
Where did we come from? Where are we
going? Can we use past events to predict future trends? Enlightenment thinker
Giambattista Vico (a devout Catholic) certainly thought we could. Vico argued
that humanity's progress (or decline) was always rooted in a class struggle,
which to him was the driving mechanism of history. He used Rome as the
framework for his historically-rooted philosophical theory; not only because it
was a major influence on the development of Western Europe, but also because he
believed that all nations would "naturally" follow Rome's path if they didn't
suffer external influences or obstructions.
Vico developed what can be considered
cyclical historicism. A precursor to Hegel, Vico studied the patterns of
history and through that study became a critic of the Enlightenment due to the
fact he believed it would eventually lead to humanity's regression. Despite his
religion, Vico's work had nothing to do with Catholicism itself (though it
certainly influenced his opinions), but rather the viewpoint that history
operates in cycles. He divided these cycles into three phases (or Ages): The
Age of Gods, the Age of Heroes, and the Age of Man.
THE AGE OF GODS
In this phase, man is primitive,
thus beastly. He has limited consciousness, an impaired rationale, and is
closer to animal than human. This Age can be correlated with Jaynes' theory of
bicameralism, where humanity was only just beginning to develop self-awareness.
It was in the early phases of shedding its bicameral brain, and had to adjust
to the world without the voices of the "right-brain God."
The first major breakthrough of this
Age comes in the form of establishing family states. The family is
all-important, and people live in small, tightly-knit groups (much like
monkeys). They are wary of other families and are fiercely territorial. As
Hegel would later show, the arrival of consciousness onto the scene also gives
rise to suspicion of others (what are their intents? Are they friend, or foe?
Can they be subdued?). That suspicion always leads to violence, segregation,
and mistrust (this is the phase right wingers are stuck in to this day,
demonstrating just how backward and retarded they are).
Because humanity's consciousness was
severely limited and impaired at this point, superstition is the main driving
force during this phase. Humanity did not understand the workings of the
natural world, so they took acts of nature to be signs from spirits, or Gods.
This is especially true of thunder. Thunderstorms were terrifying phenomena to
the primitive man, and we can see that in most early cultures the dominant God
is one of thunder (Zeus, Jove, Marduk, Perun, Thor, Indra, etc). Thunder Gods
held pride of place in most pantheons and had to be appeased to keep them from
punishing us. Fear and irrational beliefs go hand in hand (and most of humanity
still hasn't outgrown this childish way of thinking). A superstitious mind is a
fearful mind (just look at Abrahamists!) - it sees threats everywhere and seeks
to stay safe from them. Because of this need for safety, it's not long before
such moronic beliefs gave rise to entire structured systems (i.e., religions)
based on morality. These religions invent behavioural codes so that people may
avoid punishment from the divine. They never seek to actually explain the world
because the world is deemed to be operating via supernatural forces, so the
point of man was to merely behave "correctly," and he would be rewarded (or at
the very least, not punished).
Due to mankind not having developed
any kind of reason at this point, feelings led the way. Whatever felt bad was
deemed to be evil, and whatever felt good was deemed to be good. This is why
ancient religions, such as Abrahamism, are laughable. A religion (such as
Illuminism) which is rooted in reason
gives a totally different religious experience than a religion rooted in
feelings (such as Abrahamism). What a religion is based on is directly
correlated to how true it is. Abrahamism is based on fear (a feeling), so has
exactly zero truth content. A religion based on intuition (such as Eastern
faiths) has some truth content, but
without rigorous analysis and explanation, it ends up being just as retarded as
Abrahamism. Such religions are more focused on rituals and traditions than
rational thought. A religion based on senses (scientism) is useful for
tinkering with the material world, but absolutely useless when it comes to explaining
anything higher.
During the Age of the Gods (because
feelings reigned supreme), humanity was still in the thrall of primitive
nonsense such as "alpha males." An alpha of a pack seeks to have complete and
total control of those under him. To such a primordial creature, a loss of
control means a loss of power. He must control everything. Having such absolute power in a society leads others to
believe that he is "divinely inspired," and he is revered as a demigod by
society. This is the beginning of the formation of a patriarchy. Men, being
physically stronger and able to dominate women, viewed them as "possessions,"
so a woman was expected to stay loyal to her partner. Promiscuous sex was now
deemed evil because it "displeased the Gods" (in fact, it displeased the
alphas, so they outlawed it). Here, the concept of marriage first arose,
binding two people together until death. Straying from that pact had terrible
consequences.
With marriage came laws, outlining
what one can and cannot do. Priests, an elite caste supporting the ruler(s)
began dictating their doctrines to the people under them. They were never
questioned, since to question them would bring the wrath of the Gods on the
population. Augury, which is the reading of signs, was a popular method for
divining the future during this Age. People based their entire lives around
signs and omens, developing sacred places and events to mark out special days.
Certain tribes would only go to war, perform marriages, or coming-of-age rites
when omens favoured it.
Perhaps most importantly, this phase
also gives rise to burying the dead, which introduces property "rights." If a
revered ancestor was buried in a certain area, it meant that a tribe has
"marked" that territory as their own. It becomes their sacred ground, and
incursions upon that ground meant nothing other than a declaration of war. This
is the where the dead began to control the living (and we still haven't broken free
of this primitive idiocy).
The defining aspects of this Age are
the rise of religion, introduction of marriage and patriarchy, and burial of
the dead (which by extension led to property "rights"). The mentality of this
era is crude, primitive, and feelings-based.
THE AGE OF HEROES
In this phase of history, humanity
is separated into two classes: the Hunters and the Hunted. A third class, the
Heroes, are those who have the most advanced civilisation at this point. Though
Vico dubbed them "Heroes" (undoubtedly due to his Catholic beliefs), they are
actually the prevailing ruling order.
The Hunters are violent marauders who
are outside of civilisation and don't care about its laws, nor do they
recognise any or territorial rights (the early Germanic tribes, the Mongols and
the Huns are good examples of Hunters). They are nomadic, illiterate, and
operate by the philosophy of "might is right." They are never grounded in any
one place, but rather roam the lands pillaging and stealing what better men
have built. Their very existence gives rise to the Hunted, who are more refined
(though still primitive) individuals seeking refuge from their more violent
counterparts (in Hegelian terms, the Hunters are the masters, while the Hunted
are the slaves seeking to break free). Who helps the Hunted? Well, it's the
Heroes, who are the magistrates, priests, and kings of a civilised culture that
has developed laws and human rights (up to a point). The Heroes have recognised
the morality behind helping fellow humans in need, so they take in large
numbers of the Hunted into their societies. Their goals are not entirely
altruistic, however, because they want to use these refugees as an inexpensive
source of labour. The Hunted are not actually recognised as equals by their
would-be saviours. In exchange for giving them a safe haven, the Hunted are put
to work in fields (or other menial jobs) and ultimately become serfs to the
ruling class. They are not allowed any marital rights, nor are they allowed to
participate in politics. In truth, they are little better than slaves - but
that is the price they are willing to pay for safety (for now). Because of the
Hunted and their toil for the Heroes, civilisation reaches a level of
organisation where one's time no longer needs to be dedicated to survival
alone. The Heroes benefit from the Hunted because they no longer need to work
as hard for purposes of survival, so they begin dedicating time to art,
scientific discovery, literature, poetry, and other imaginative pursuits. They
also begin explorations and expeditions. Adventurers leave their nations to
discover new places. Expansion of civilisation and colonisation of
"uncivilised" lands begins.
The medieval epoch is a good example
of the Age of Heroes. Europe in the Middle Ages was a society of huge
contrasts, especially between rich and poor, believers and non-believers. It
was, generally speaking, a structured caste system with the following
hierarchy:
1) Ruling Monarch
- King and/or Queen ("Heroes"). These people generally had absolute power and
ruled with impunity. Because many believed them to be divinely mandated,
questioning them was deemed heretical and against the Gods themselves. Monarchs
rarely suffered (unless they were extreme
tyrants), and lived lives of great privilege.
2) Clergy - Monks
and priests (also "Heroes"). These were literate, highly educated individuals.
They had a complete monopoly on information and learning, and were immensely
respected within society for being the intermediaries between man and God.
Generally, they had good working relationships with the monarch, since the
monarch wanted to ensure that they had both earthly and heavenly powers on
their side. In return, the priests wanted to increase their own power by
associating with the head of state. It was mutually beneficial for both parties
to remain aligned as much as possible.
3) Warriors -
(a mixture of "Heroes" and the Hunted). The nobility (landed knights -
"Heroes") were the fighting elite in society, responsible for commandeering
wars, maintaining peace and order, and upholding the law of the land. They had
a total monopoly on weaponry, and because of their fighting prowess and power,
they could not be challenged in any meaningful way. The fighters under them
were mostly composed of the Hunted, who were the rabble militia and served as
cannon fodder in battle.
4) Peasants -
(the Hunted). In medieval Europe, the peasantry made up roughly 90% of the
population. These people were illiterate, poor, and lived on the verge of
famine at all times. We never hear their voices because they were never
recorded (history, after all, is written by the victors). Most of them worked
on the land as farmers, others as tradesmen, and some as merchants. As the
English philosopher Thomas Hobbes would later say (though not for the same
context), life for the peasant was "solitary,
poor, nasty, brutish and short." The peasants were dependent on their lords
(the nobility) for protection in exchange for giving them a certain amount of
resources (including manpower). Peasant-folk, because of their lack of means
and opportunity, were severely mistreated by their "betters," which made their
already bleak lives that much more awful. A peasant is the last thing anyone
would want to be in medieval society, but it's exactly what most people were.
By this Age, man is well on his
way to being properly civilised. Laws by this point have become exactly-worded
documents and agreements between parties. Superstition, though still
widespread, is slowly beginning to disappear due to humanity developing their
reason and being able to explain natural phenomena on scientific grounds rather
than religious ones.
The defining aspects of this era are
imagination, poetry, art, science, invention, exploration, and new discoveries.
The mentality is sensory-based.
THE AGE OF MAN
In this phase, the Hunted (and other
peasants) are sick of their mistreatment and begin actively fighting for their
right to become human (ie, to be recognised as proper citizens, have equal
marital rights, and political participation). They have grown tired of their "betters,"
and so they begin protesting by withdrawing their services and military
contributions to the elite (or they might start a violent revolution to
overthrow the ruling regime). Since peasants are the overwhelming majority, the
ruling elite have no choice but to give in to their demands, or be killed for
refusing. This is an example where the slaves are seeking to become masters (or
at the very least, equal to the masters, thereby abolishing them anyway - at
least, in theory). A Democratic Republic is the inevitable outcome at this
stage, since everyone wants a say in what happens within the nation they are
living. With Democracy (fused with other advances up to this point),
civilisation finally begins to recognise proper human rights, based on reason
rather than superstition (religion). Laws finally become secular (thus humane).
Everyone has equal rights. Cultural and academic centres reach their zenith and
flourish.
The first rulers of this new system
are benevolent and altruistic, adhering to the new constitutions and laws the
revolutionaries made. To do otherwise would be to undermine everything the
peasantry fought for, and such a ruler would be immediately overthrown. Soon,
however, people of all classes get greedy and use their newly-found freedoms to
fight for self-interest as much as possible. They want more (or different)
things. Disagreements occur, and factions begin springing up, eventually giving
rise to a civil war. During this time, a second set of rulers arise. These are ambitious
and great figures, such as Alexander of Macedon, Julius Caesar, or Napoleon.
Societies become monarchies; however, these monarchies are based on civil
rights rather than authoritarian tyranny. They bring back order to the post
civil-war state. In due course, however, a madman (such as Nero or Trump)
arises, wreaking havoc and breeding discontentment among the populace.
The system at this point begins to eat
itself, torn apart by its own internal contradictions.
Reason also begins to self-destruct
because it becomes either too dogmatic, or too skeptical/critical (this is
exactly where science is today). Further, the arrival of this skeptical kind of
reason onto the scene undermines the societal bonds formed by religion,
culture, and tradition (which for Vico, a Catholic, was a huge problem). Legal
systems begin to become decadent and self-serving rather than about true
justice and order. All of this gives rise to a new kind of barbarism because
people lose their faith in everything - God, heroes, and men. They come to rely
only upon themselves. A body where every cell is fighting for its own "independence"
won't live long (which is a lesson libertarian and anarchist retards should
take to heart).
The defining aspects of this Age are
new advances, technologies, questioning of traditions, overthrowing old
regimes, and establishing new values. The mentality is reason-based.
**********
Vico was critical of the
Enlightenment because he viewed it as the Age of Man (ie, the final step before
a descent back to the Age of Gods). He could not view the Enlightenment as
entirely positive because it dissolved the very glue which held society
together.
Vico's philosophy, though useful, has
a key problem in that he could not see outside of the wheel he had built. It
just keeps turning, ad infinitum. As Gnostics, we maintain that we are cursed
to keep reincarnating in an eternal cycle until we are aware of what is happening to us. Only then can we break free and
escape this material hell. The same principle applies to history itself. As a
species, we will be cursed to keep repeating these three Ages until we become
collectively aware of them. At that
point, we will know what it takes to never fall prey to them again, and escape
the cycle forever. As above, so below.
DIFFERENT PLACES, DIFFERENT AGES
The
Western world is in the Age of Man - which is why the West is
the best. It has developed itself to the end-point of Vico's cycle, meaning it has the most humane laws, is secular, is based
on reason (up to a point) and equality, has the most advanced technology,
living standards, and so forth. Other places in the world are stuck in
different phases. The Middle East, for instance, is stuck in the Age of Gods.
Before Islam, the Middle East was a thriving, educated, enlightened place (the
cradle of civilisation, no less). In other words, it was in the Age of Man.
Once it had reached that phase, however (i.e., it became too critical, cynical,
and disillusioned), it was ready to fall and return to the Age of the Gods (Islam).
This is exactly what happened. Had they been aware of Vico's cycles (which of
course weren't written back then), they may not have so easily succumbed to the
Islamic plague. This is why it is so important to be knowledgeable about these
matters. We can actually pinpoint where we are going wrong, and prevent our
ship from going off course.
**********
Vico's criticism of the Enlightenment was entirely valid. Though we have
the Enlightenment to thank for where we are today, it was not without its
flaws. It certainly overthrew a lot of old bullshit that needed to be done away
with, but it never really found a replacement for the system it overthrew.
Christianity held Europe in its thrall for a thousand years (the Age of
Heroes). As retarded and toxic as it was, it had one saving grace - it
instilled a positive liberty culture. Everyone knew their place in society and
acted accordingly. The Enlightenment effectively liberated Europe from the
shackles of the Demiurge, but could find no replacement to hold the population
together under a new (and better) positive liberty culture.
The "truth" (Christianity) was gone,
but nothing had come to replace it. Everyone suddenly looked for their own
truths, which meant a fragmentation of society. People started to believe their
own propaganda. They became "Protestant." Intellectuals were everywhere, but no
one could agree on one thing as being
absolutely true (as they had during Christian times). This meant that various
factions arose and people went their own way. Western society as we know it was
built upon these shaky societal foundations, and is now on the verge of returning
to the Age of Gods. Alt-right retards want a racially pure state, to go back to
living in small, familial tribes. Many of them are Abrahamists who want to
grovel and submit to an alpha ("God"). They are actively fighting to regress. This is why they are so
dangerous; their lack of intellectual capacity threatens the very future of our
world. Muslims are the opposite side of exactly the same coin. They don't want
to advance - they want to bring the Age of Gods with them wherever they go.
It's utterly shocking that alt-righters and Muslims hate each other so much.
Both groups are nauseatingly bigoted, sexist, racist, homophobic, and
practically retarded. Their worldviews are built upon exactly the same grounds,
and their aims are identical. They both want the Age of Gods.
THE AGE OF ILLUMINATION
To
break free of Vico's cyclical curse, we need to bring
about a new age - the Age of Illumination. The Age of Reason. The Gnostic Age.
The Age of the Divine. The Age of Synthesis. The Age of the Omega Point.
We are in desperate need of a Second
(and final) Enlightenment.
What this means in practice is keeping
all that is good from the Age of Man and upgrading it. Science must be done
away with and replaced by Ontological Mathematics. Because science is based on
fallible human senses and not eternal truths of reason, it is a relative system
where no truths can exist, only interpretations (and in the world of
interpretation, there is endless room for dispute and conflict). Lies are
divisive and truth is cohesive. Reason is the great unifying force. It is the
one thing that can bind people together absolutely.
Something is either rational, or it isn't. If it is, and you yourself are rational,
then you have no choice but to accept
it. What this means is that rational people can't disagree on anything which is
objectively true. Reason demands it. Nothing else has this kind of unifying
power. Love certainly won't do it. Love is not unity. Love is hate. Love has
nothing to do with anything. It is a feeling, and therefore relegated to the
Age of Gods. Put feelings aside. You may well despise the person with whom you
are having a conversation, but you may agree with them on everything regardless
(if you are both rational).
The power of Illuminism is that it is
the embodiment of reason. In other words, a society based on Illuminist,
Meritocratic values, can do nothing other than create a united people who agree
on everything that is truly important. In such a society, a strong, cohesive
monoculture will arise. Illuminism is the shattering of Samsara, the great
wheel. It is the final phase of human evolution before humanity ascends to
Godhood.
Bring about the Age of Illumination. Free
humanity from Vico's cycle.
CULTURE CONFLICTS
There is nothing more important than
culture. Everything revolves around it. Culture is the individual writ large.
It is a person as a collective. For Vico, many aspects of the Enlightenment
were alarm bells. He saw his Catholic culture disappearing (and the unity it
brought), but nothing was coming along to
replace it. Suddenly, everyone had their own ideas and couldn't be
told they were wrong. In a Catholic society, merit and an intellectual
hierarchy are respected. Since its inception (aside from the Reformation), the
Catholic Church has never fragmented because of this mentality (which is why
there has always been but one Catholic Church and not thousands sects of it, as
in Protestantism). An average Catholic would never dream of debating the Pope
or thinking that he could know better than him on matters of theology (as the
Pope is vastly more educated on the subject than they are). This is a huge
difference from Protestant nations, where everyone has their own version
of Christianity (sola scriptura) and won't be told that they are
wrong. Catholics collectively believe in one truth, but they are self-aware
enough that they recognise others (such as priests, cardinals, and the Pope)
know more about that truth than they do. They are willing to listen and
recognise merit. Protestants do no such thing. This is why America, a
Protestant nation, cannot agree on anything.
America, and the Protestant West in
general, is failing. They have no united culture.
MENTALITY
How your mentality is "wired" will
affect your view towards the world. You are either "Catholic"
(left-wing/positive liberty), or "Protestant" (right-wing/negative liberty).
(Note that this has nothing to do with the religions themselves, but the
mentality behind them.)
Western Europe is in a state of
disorder. It is "Protestant." Muslims are flooding in, but no one can agree on
how to deal with them. Some call for a complete ban on all migration. Some call
for deportation. Some want controlled migration. Some want to let everyone in.
Others want only migration from nations with high living standards. Some people
refer to Muslims as refugees, others call them economic migrants, while others still call them invaders. Who is right? Well, no one really knows. No one can
agree. Who has the final say? If you listen to any of these viewpoints, they
each have a reason for thinking the way they do and can make compelling
arguments. Which is the rational viewpoint? This is exactly the kind of
confusion which tears a society apart. Everyone is lost in their own propaganda
and won't listen to anyone else, even those who demonstrably know better.
The migrant problem really highlights
two key issues, which are both interlinked: a lack of culture, and a lack of a
strong state. It's the state which defines the culture, but since modern states
have zero interest in their populations (aside from wanting to make work mules
out of people), they breed the Last Man mentality within the populace. There is
no united culture. In Ancient Sparta, a positive liberty city-state, everyone
agreed that boys should leave home at a young age to train as warriors, and
uphold the glory of Sparta. They were "Catholic." No one became "Protestant"
and decided that this was wrong. As a united culture with a singular purpose,
Sparta made its mark upon the world. What would have become of Sparta if it was
infected by liberal Last Men, seeking petty comforts? Well, absolutely nothing!
They would have been enslaved or wiped out of existence. We would have never
heard of them.
In a Meritocratic state, people would
collectively agree on what needs to be done, since they would be united by a
singular, rational culture. Such a culture, founded on reason and humane
principles, where everyone was afforded the best education (and taught how to
be rational) would eliminate most issues. Everything would come down to reason.
That which is rational is accepted. That which is irrational is rejected.
Things would be analysed by qualified professionals, and qualified voters would
vote them in. In such a society, The People would have true power, since they
would be guided by reason. Reason, after all, is what makes us divine.
Irrationality turns us into beasts.
Never forget: all good comes from knowledge,
while all evil comes from ignorance.
WESTERN APATHY
Whatever
else can be said of them, Muslims are not Last Men. They don't care about comforts and petty trivialities. They are collectively
united by a singular culture, and want to see that culture spread.
In the Western world, no such unity
exists. Though the West is the best (because it is the least ignorant), reason
has begun to eat itself. No one knows what is true anymore, and no one really
cares. The only concerns Westerners have is that they have enough bread and
circuses to last them. Give this to a population, and they will never rebel - even
when they are under siege. They will literally sit around in denial, hoping
that things will just "blow over," all because they do not want to give up their
comforts. They don't seem to realise that their comforts will be forcibly taken
away from them in due course anyway. By refusing to fight, they are ensuring
such an outcome. Westerners are giant infants. They are the Id crew. They have
become soft, decadent Last Men who will surely be conquered by savage
primitives (Hunters) if they don't turn themselves around. Muslims (Hunters)
are committed to a cause higher than themselves. Can the same be said of the
West? You must be having a fucking laugh. The average Westerner couldn't care
less about anything outside their daily bubble. They have had it too good for
too long. They have no idea what it's like to fight for freedom and hold onto
precious values worth dying for. No one respects anything. People think of
themselves as supreme individualist "freethinkers," but what they actually are
are a bunch of apathetic, pathetic Last Men who just want to live comfortably.
To get the average Westerner off his fat ass and onto the streets to campaign
for something worthwhile is practically impossible. They don't want to risk
their Last Man lifestyle. They are happy to ignore any and all issues (as long
as those issues don't affect them directly). Just look at liberals. These sick
fucks don't want to wipe out even sicker fucks (Muslims and the alt-right) from
their midst. Instead, they want to live among them, while giving them no real
say in what happens. What the fuck do they think is going to be the outcome of
such an endeavour? They have no idea about Will to Power, the Hegelian
dialectic, or Vico's cycles. Liberals are dumb fucks who have been allowed to
control the social narrative (which the right-wing elite wholly support, since
liberals are ineffectual clowns who will never make a mark on the world).
Liberals are unwitting puppets of the elite. If they truly want to make a
difference, they will join radical Illuminist Meritocrats and take up arms in
righteous battle. Anyone who thinks that the upcoming conflict will be peaceful
is either ignorant or completely retarded. This story may have a happy ending
(as long as our forces of light prevail), but the journey to that ending will
be anything but happy. Struggle and violence are certain. Just look around you -
it has already begun.
Cracks are beginning to turn into
chasms. The rats have begun pouring out of the sewers and don't appear to be
heading back in anytime soon. Tensions are at an all-time high. Barely a day
passes where some horrific atrocity hasn't made the front page news. Tolerance
for others is at an all-time low. People are more suspicious and withdrawn than
ever. No one seems to be able to agree on anything. Opposing factions are
killing each other all over the world, and no one seems to be able to do
anything about any of it. Politicians are mistrusted and often outright
despised, even by those who elected them. No one takes them seriously anymore.
They are talking heads who never keep their word on anything (even if they
wanted to, they couldn't make a difference, since it is not politicians who are
running the show). In times of crisis, all they seem to do is spout the same
old platitudes to console the population. People no longer look to the
powers-that-be for help. They have started taking matters into their own hands.
Muslim subhumans are persisting with their wave of terror, killing innocent
people in the name of their vile, Satanic "God." Alt-right retards have begun
to adopt Islamic tactics by driving cars into crowds, showing just how much
they admire those they claim to hate. Alternative media is on the rise while
mainstream media is on the decline. The ruling elite are old, dried up husks
who have no connection to the people they rule. They don't "get" them, and they
don't want to. To them, the "Heroes," we are nothing more than simple peasants
(the Hunted) who should work for them but have no say on any matters of
importance. Simply put, things are getting worse and worse.
The outcome is not certain. The future
of humanity hangs in the balance. Survival is not compulsory. If you want a
better world, you must fight for it. Increasingly, the Ignavi are not
tolerated, even by common society. Everyone must pick their side. Which side
are you going to be on? Which cause is worth risking your neck for? The door is
closing soon, and everyone must decide on where they will stand in the upcoming
war.
The alt-right and the Muslims are
gaining more momentum and getting more radical with each passing day, while
liberals are getting more and more useless (and who would've thought that was
possible?!). No one's listening to you hippie fuckers, and nor should they. All
you cunts are doing is kicking the can down the road. Liberals are sitting
ducks waiting to be picked off by those with more will and more drive. Liberals
have no solutions, and no Big Idea. The Muslims do, and the alt-right do. No
one in their right mind would join any
of these moronic groups, so there is only one option for sane, courageous
individuals…. The rational choice: Become an Illuminist Meritocrat. Become a
radical left winger. Join us and fight for a better world.
If
you have chosen our side, you are an Illuminist (in theory, anyway). Yet
llluminism is not just a word - it's a life's pursuit. It's a philosophy, a goal, an outcome, a
solution. It's the Truth. If you are an Illuminist, it means you are a
rational, dedicated, intelligent, and passionate individual with a vision for a
glorious future. You view yourself as a fate shaper, a world historic figure.
You possess astounding ambition and are on a quest for perfection. If you
aren't, then you aren't an Illuminist. Don't kid yourself. Our values are Total
Revolution, and we will stop at nothing to get there. If you do not share this
same drive, don't waste your time (and even worse - our time). Move on. We are sick and tired of the endless chatter,
the unactualised plans, the dream without the action. There is never any follow
through.
Sadly, more of the same appear to be
drawn to our Revolution. Chatterati, discussionati, and the old
wait-and-see-what-everyone-else-is-doing-then-applaud-like-a-seal-while-standing-on-the-sidelines
gang.
What's your Big Idea? Do you have one? If not, why the fuck not? If you have read even a fraction of the
Illuminati's works, you would have found endless means of inspiration and a
plethora of things that need to be done. If you aren't doing anything, and have
no plans on doing anything, then why the fuck would you associate yourself with
an activist movement?
If you aren't a creator yourself, then
help one. Join a project and put whatever talents you have to good use. If you
don't have a specific skill, what's preventing you from attaining one? Too
lazy? Too hard?
What don't you understand? If you are
a member of our circles, you are the VANGUARD of the Age of Illuminism. You are
part of a handful of people who will rise to change and shape the world anew,
to regenerate it from the cancerous toxins killing it. You are a
philosopher-warrior, a soldier of Mother Earth, an agent of the World Spirit
itself. If you don't view yourself as such, you clearly have not understood a
single thing that millions of words have been trying to teach you.
A BARREN LIFE
We hear endless excuses about people
being "too busy," so it has prevented them from working on projects (yet, these
same people never seem too busy for a chat!). Only a Last Man could say
something like this. Last Men are always looking for excuses and never
solutions. Too many false Illuminists (Chatterati) have come our way over the
years, and we are sick and tired of them all. What, really, is the difference
between the aforementioned apathetic Westerner and the Chatterati? The former
is a fat, lazy slob (if not physically, then certainly mentally/spiritually)
who is completely uninspired. The Chatterati are arguably even worse than these
slugs, because they have found their
way to the Truth (Illuminism), but are doing absolutely nothing about it.
Why has our Revolution gone nowhere?
It's because the Illuminati's works are written for a humanity which does not
yet exist. These works are written for the autonomous individual.
AUTONOMOUS vs ANOMIC
Our stagnation in the nether pits of
the internet comes down to a question of autonomy. Most people in our
Revolution would claim to be autonomous individuals, but such people are only
lying to themselves.
To be autonomous is to be
self-defining. It's about forging your own identity. Autonomy is having the
ability to self-start, to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. It means
being able to construct yourself anew, free of whatever identity has been
enforced on you since birth. Sadly, most people are clearly unable to do this
to any satisfactory degree, which leaves them in no man's land. They are, in
fact, anomic individuals. They have
found their way to something (the Holy Grail), but have no idea what to do with
it. They are standing in awe of the treasure before them, but are too afraid to
go near it for fear of the change it might bring about. They have failed to
take the Great Leap into the unknown. They stand on the edge, but are too
afraid to jump.
Such people think that simply
discussing the Holy Grail with others is enough. It makes them feel like they
have "made it out" of the brainwashing imposed on them by society. They are
only kidding themselves. Everyone else sees right through the bullshit. They
aren't fooling anyone.
Like the autonomous, anomic
individuals stand outside of the other types (other/inner/tradition-directed) which
brainwash a person. The big difference is that autonomous individuals have a
plan, an identity, and have forged themselves anew. They have struggled, and they
made it. Anomic individuals haven't.
Many try, but it ultimately becomes too hard for them so they fail. They then
turn into psychopaths, trolls, lingerers, or other degenerate losers of this
ilk. They waste away their lives dreaming what could have been. They were
loath to give up their comforts and lifestyles, making them no different to
Last Men (except with the delusion that they weren't!).
Generally, the anomic will view the
autonomous as militant, hardline, and unwavering. The autonomous, on the other
hand, will view the anomic as pathetic, weak-willed, and a time waster. These
two types cannot get along. Their values and worldview are totally different.
At no point has our Revolution been composed of more than perhaps 5% autonomous
(and that's being very generous),
with the other 95% being anomics (identifying as autonomous) who never get
things done and actually hold the autonomous back.
Autonomous individuals are keen and
excited to work on projects. They will find a WAY because they have the WILL.
They will look at their life, and cut out something unnecessary ("me-time," or
whatever the fuck) to work on something necessary (a Meritocratic Revolution,
for instance!). However, being surrounded by anomics (who think they are
autonomous) will deflate the truly autonomous person in an instant. They will
then jump ship and swim to shore to create their own visions since no one else
will help them. Progress becomes very slow because each autonomous individual
is working on things by themselves on their own island, rather than finding
other truly autonomous individuals with which they can build a grand, unified project.
Anomics are those who never commit to
anything. They are the "P's" (in Myers-Briggs terms). They spend all their time
umming and ahhing, and never actually doing anything. The "J's" are autonomous,
decisive, and have a plan of action they are happy to follow through with all
the way, no matter what.
Imagine all the great achievements
throughout history. Imagine all the great speeches heroes have made to others
to inspire and uplift them. They then rose together as one and made an impact
on the world. Spartacus, for instance, made many fine speeches to the slaves he
liberated. They were behind him one hundred percent, which allowed the slaves
to rise and nearly overwhelm the most powerful force the world had ever known
at that point in time. These slaves were "J's." A crowd full of "P's" would say
something like "yeah but not all Romans
are bad" (!). The slave rebellion would never have taken place with such
people.
Spartacus talking to people in our
Revolution would be met with "You go,
Sparty (can I call you that?)! You sound like a super keen, motivated, and
talented individual. Wish I could join you, but you know, these university
studies are really keeping me busy. Plus my dog is sick, so me and my partner
take turns in watching over him so he doesn't die. The poor little guy had
worms, you know, and is now spewing his guts out. It's been a really rough
ride, but we are hoping for a quick recovery. Also, you wouldn't believe what
has been happening at work. My manager told me that if things…."
Spartacus, if he didn't die of shock
at what he'd just heard, would probably do the only rational thing at that
point and kill himself. If these are his "friends," who the fuck needs enemies?
He would be flabbergasted at hearing slaves making
excuses to stay enslaved.
SPOT THE ANOMIC:
-Always "too busy" with life/work/university/family/whatever
- Always nitpicking at details
- Never follows through on something
they said they would do
- Makes excuses for why something
cannot be done, rather than seeking solutions
- Generally lingers around, "chatting
productively"
- Is super excited when others do
work, yet never produce any themselves
SPOT THE AUTONOMOUS:
-Has a grand vision and is demonstrably
working towards it
- Has a proven track record of acting
instead of talking
- Is constantly pushing others to be
autonomous (after all, autonomous people only respect others who are like them)
- Sees how something can be done
rather than making excuses for why it can't
- Will not associate with anomics for
long, as they are unbearable to the autonomous individual
- Endless ambition and the pursuit of
perfection
**********
Socrates said "Beware the barrenness of a busy life." Beware
indeed! People love to keep themselves "busy," yet what have they got to show
for it? Their "business" basically reduces to upkeeping the lifestyle they had
before they became Illuminated (despite the fact that Illuminism is about changing
everything). What is so fucking hard
to get? Change. Progress. Evolve. Cut
out all unnecessary aspects of your life. What, afraid of being a minimalist?
Want to live in supreme comfort upkeeping the OWO, while paying lip service to
a Meritocratic Revolution? Which side are you on?!
People who are "too busy" to work on
projects are people who shouldn't be part of our Revolution. They should
immediately be expelled. They will just drag others down. They are anomics
pretending to be autonomous. On the one hand, they want a Revolution (or so
they say), but on the other, they aren't doing anything towards achieving it.
What are we to make of such people? Are they friends, or foes?
Marx was a highly educated man who
could have made a great living as a lawyer, yet chose the thankless profession
of philosopher instead. He lived and died in poverty because he didn't want to
be part of the system he was dedicated to abolishing. He was true to himself
and his ideals all the way. Can you say the same of yourself? If you are
willing to give up NOTHING but desire EVERYTHING, you are a pathetic Last Man.
Stop fucking around and thinking you are some great hero dedicated to the
betterment of humanity. You aren't. Pick a side! Either be a part of the system
(i.e., continue to be "busy" with university, pets, partners, friends, and
family), or dedicate your life to abolishing it and implementing something
better (Meritocracy).
You are either with us or against us.
There is no middle ground. If you are "too busy," then fuck off and find
something less demanding to dedicate your life to.
A NEW WORLD
What does your vision of a New World
look like? Write it out and reflect on it. Now, ask yourself how the fuck that
vision would become a reality if everyone was "too busy"
upkeeping the old system to bring about your new one. Only once you do this
will you understand our position.
The OWO wants you to be as busy as possible so you don't have time to think
or work on projects that will bring about their demise. If you are busy, you
are their agent, not a herald of the
NWO. You are playing their game. You have allowed yourself to be shackled and
aren't ready to break free. You are terrified of making true, radical changes
in your life that will enable you to fight for a better world. You can't
imagine giving up all the "good stuff," to gamble it all on an uncertain
outcome. You will live and die as a nobody yearning to be a somebody. There is
no more tragic a fate.
Do you truly believe you are liberated
simply because you possess knowledge? Don't kid yourself. You are not liberated
because you live in a world which imposes its will upon you, and its will is
irrational. That will is rooted in Abrahamism, Karmism, and free-market
capitalism. These are all slave systems which must be overthrown. If you have a
job that you can be fired from, if you rely on others for your sustenance, if
you cannot make your own way in the world, and if you live in fear you might be
hurt or killed for speaking out against others, what are you?
Only once you face this awful truth
can you begin to change it. Sadly, most people think that they aren't slaves.
They imagine they have broken free, but their lifestyle and attitude tells a
completely different story. They talk the talk, but the walk is nowhere to be
seen.
THE FUTURE
The
future will not be built by the "busy," but by those
with enough will to make a mark on the world. Organise your fucking time
better! Illuminism and Meritocracy are the only things worth fighting for
because they are the Truth. If you disagree, it's not because these systems are
wrong - it's because you are. You are
simply not rational enough to understand that this is the Omega Point of
humanity.
If you agree that Illuminism and
Meritocracy are the future, what are you doing about it? Sitting around being "busy,"
or getting out there and making a difference in the world? It's unfathomable
how many people with a false consciousness have come our way over the years.
They are liars who lie to others (and themselves). Cut the shit and get with
the program!
WOAD
WARRIORS
Ancient Celts would often paint
themselves with woad before they went to war. This represented a transition
from their daily life to that of the warrior. Marking themselves meant that
they were ready for battle. It meant they were ready to go all the way. There
was no going back. They would either die, or they would conquer the enemy.
Where are our woad warriors? All we
have are woe worriers!
**********
The Age of Man will soon come to its
end. We are on the verge of returning to the Age of Gods and all the horrors
associated with it. Only we can stop it. Break free. Bring about Revolution.
Herald the age of Illumination. Develop a firm stance on who and what you are.
Look in the mirror. Who is looking back at you?
What would you do to bring about a New
World Order? How far would you go?
Are you in, or are you out? The Second
Enlightenment awaits. We need heroes now more than ever.
